"Reality and Shit" shows how the most urgent problems of our time interconnect on a cultural level, and offers unique solutions and insights from a not so "cultured" perspective. It wraps serious issues and epidemic illnesses like diabetes, asthma, cancer, obesity, anorexia, war, terrorism - into a framework of "how to shit like a master," which makes it enormously easy to read while leading to the psychological roots of those fundamental problems we never really face.
This book can be read as a cultural critique, as a traveler's book, as a shamanic medicine book and as a very earthly guide to spiritual enlightenment. It is both sincere and hilarious!

Fritz Blackburn, born in Augsburg, Germany, studied law and economics before he traveled the world on a shoe-string and lived in remote cultures. He learned about mind development from Mexican shamans like Maria Sabina and explored the possibilities of the human mind using the peyote cactus and psylocybin mushrooms as well as other techniques that cultivate the human potential. He taught yoga in the Philippines where he ran his own school on Boracay Island.
